However, there was shock as the the man came into the light — he
was a laowai.

According to Go Chengdoo, the man left the scene immediately
after the incident, but Chinese reporters tracked him to his
hotel. The man, a 53-year-old from Sweden later identified as
Harald Göbel, had been on a 10 day business trip to Chengdu — his
first trip ever to China.

However, Harald remained humble. “When I saw that the woman was
being taken care of by the ambulance staff, I went back to the
hotel with my friend, had a shower, and then relaxed in the hotel
bar," he told the Swedish
press.
